Jed, deep in the settings, that start with you choosing the tools menu and the options choice, are checkboxes which tell outlook what to do when new mail arrives. you need to uncheck the (two I believe) that have to do with visual notification. I think one is to show you a brief preview of the mail, and one flashes the desktop. leave only the "play a sound" one checked.
